J. Wail Sails The Sea...Hawaii & Beyond Tour (how far beyond?)
J. WAIL HAWAII TOUR DETAILS.....I continue my voyage of touring as I will visit the Hawaiian Islands in January to do my thang. Its all live instruments and live electronics creating an experimental club funk booty shakin goodness thang. So that means instead of playing samples...Im gonna sing them, Im gonna get nasty on my guitar and bass, and add in some live , on-the-cuff electronics to get the place bumpin'....all live, all original. Highlights include the Hawaii Electronic Music Festival and w/ EOTO (Travis & Jason from String Cheese Incident) in Honolulu!
And yes there are some fiji tour dates in the works, please cross your fingers. As the tour name states...Its the "Hawaii & Beyond Tour," I am seeking any connects on places to play, festivals. booking agents and promoters in all places of the World. As many of you know I like to play music in the beyond (: Right now Im working on dates in Fiji!
Also I am planning out places to stay along my travels. It would be excellent if anyone can offer a couch,a comfy place to sleep or just your good company. I am a really chill houseguest and would be very thankful. Im sure a bunch of you use Couchsurfing.com (also an excellent community). You can check out my profile there.
